Tom, that Y-Block sounds pretty typical of those days.Dirt track racing was the only racing I ever saw until about '64 or so. I didn't know you could have real fun without grit in your eyes, nose and mouth. Didn't take the Chevy guys long to figure it out though. By 1958 Parnelli Jones and the Fike Plumbing Chevy was rapidly making the IMCA Offies obsolete.
